I am building a project on what absorbs most
heat. Do you think the heat will stay in a shoe
box at 100 degrees Fahrenheit?

Answer 1:

No.No object, no matter its construction, will
be able to keep heat in indefinitely. If your
container is air-tight, then heat will escape more
slowly, but heat will still escape. You will have
to take this into account in your experiment.
